"A few months ago, April took an extended leave to go back to her hometown. He Wenjie happened to tell me around those exact same days that he was going on a business trip, and the very second day after I picked him up from the airport, April was back at work. Not long after that, she was pregnant."
"Oh, goodness... could that really just be a coincidence?"
"At that time, I wanted to get a job at Jingyan, and He Wenjie said he would help me pull some strings. Scarcely after he went to arrange it, April showed up to work driving a brand-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Thinking back now, the two of them must have met right around then. A while ago, when the company's new real estate development went on sale, the absolute best apartment was bought by her on day one. Just look at that kind of spending—doesn't that sound like something he would do? If all of this was just my groundless speculation, I checked the bank card April used for the payment. That card used to be mine, until he later gave me this black card, so I gave that other one back to him. But when I checked the prior transaction history, the money came straight out of that very card."
